i should have ironed it first so it laid flat, but it would have been troublesome regardless because it was rolling up so much. i think they cut the cloth really unevenly, and that may be why the hem stitches came out originally. i also may do a second pass on it later depending on my motivation

thought i’d share because i thought this scored pretty high on the boring/10 scale. my work isn’t great, but it’s punk so it’s fine

for those curious, here is the shirt in question. yeah, i’m a tanktop guy. i subject everyone to my hairy ass arms

A stylized dragon with the words TRANS RIGHTS. The dragon is made of the trans flag colors, with the text TRANS above it. It is breathing fire, and gaps in the fire (negative space) form the word RIGHTS.

    The re-hemming belongs here - that tshirt seriously needs reposting to shirtsthatgohard@lemmy.world

    It’s not thrilling, but not exactly dull either. It’s honest and satisfying work for both M & F

    Nice job. T shirts are deceptively tricky to sew because they’re often a bit stretchy.

    I think you should leave it as is. I find the slightly rough look of hand repairs to be quite charming. Plus there have been times when I have been a perfectionist and undone adequate work, only for it to come out worse (which just ends up stressing the fabric more). I think this looks pretty good though — certainly neater than what I did when I had the same problem.
